This study sought to assess the role of non-monetary incentives on teachers’ job
performance in public secondary schools. The study was guided by three objectives; that is,
to identify the types of non-financial benefits available to teachers in public secondary
schools in Ilemela District, to find out the relationship between non-financial incentives and
teachers’ job performance in public secondary schools in Ilemela District and to identify
challenges that hinder the provision incentives in the work places of teachers. The study
employed mixed research approach and convergent parallel design. The quantitative data
were gathered, coded and analyzed through descriptive statistics with the help of SPSS
version 20. Qualitative data were analyzed based on themes. The findings revealed that
non-monetary incentives seem to play a vital role in improving teachers working
performance in public secondary schools. Also, the findings showed that school leaders do
not apply non-monetary incentives to their teachers due to inadequate leadership skills. The
study recommends that the government in cooperation with the community should build
teachers’ houses near the schools in order to make teachers closer to the school activities.
The school heads should involve teachers in day-to-day school operations to make teachers
part and parcel of the school. Moreover, head of schools should be equipped with
administrative skills concerning the improvement of teachers’ job performance. |
